Impressionist Gardens
Impressionist Gardens will be a major international exhibition of around 90 works including loans from collections around the world, and will be the first ever to be devoted to this subject.

The famous names of Impressionism will be well represented, with fine examples by Monet, Pissarro, Renoir, Manet and Sisley. The exhibition will also examine the continued significance of the Impressionist garden to the generation of artists working immediately after the Impressionists, such as Cézanne and Pierre Bonnard.

A final section will examine the spread of the Impressionist garden in the late 19th and early 20th century. European and American artists will feature in this section and will include Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Gustav Klimt and John Singer Sargent.

This will be the only UK showing of this exhibition. Organised in partnership with the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid.
